On Sunday, the 3rd rounds of the GFC and GTTC took place at Fern Bay Black on a reversed layout. Going into the GFC race the FO8 class was headed by last seasons champion Storm Cloud and things don’t look to be changing as he added his first win of the season following his two podiums in the first two races. In second came Leprekaun and in third place Agarash. Storm Cloud and Leprekaun are now level in the championship on adjusted points. In the FOX class FiredUp and Gentlefoot were tied for the lead of the championship going into the race with one win a piece. However, Alain Lang once again showed tremendous pace having broken the FOX world record for this layout the day before and this time it all came together for him and he took his first win of the season which moves him to the top of the pile overall. Debutant Messy impressed with potential race winning pace and took second place with Gentlefoot close behind him in 3rd. In the GTTC earlier in the day the GTR class was close going into the race and remains so with Leprekaun taking the win, H.Vuorinen taking second and FiredUp taking 3rd. This now means that three drivers are tied on points at the top of the GTR championship. In the TBO class it was Troy taking his second win of the season with R.Salama in 2nd place and Laudi in 3rd. Troy now has a healthy lead in the TBO championship although with three races still remaining de souza, Laudi and Nick H are still all close enough for them to yet take glory.10th April 2008: Gentlefoot Limited Launches New Website
